Words by Matt Bacon So here’s my grand theory of music promotion for DIY bands. If you have under 10,000 or so monthly listeners, then you are in the early adopter phase. If you are in the early adopter phase, then most of your fans are going to be musicians and music nerds. So then the question becomes – how do you take advantage of that? There are three core pieces of content I think you can be pushing with this in mind. Continue reading HEAVY REGULAR Bacon’s Slices #7 Music Promotion ...

Words by Jimmy Glinster There is nothing quite like being summoned late on a Saturday night to review an Australian thrash metal band. That is of course except for being at a metal show which is fucking near impossible with the filthy Rona still lurking about. But here we are, and here we have the latest release by Desecrator who can hopefully follow through with their tour plans by somehow bypassing the filthy state of roaches after a snap state lock down was enforced earlier ...

Words by Jimmy Glinster A Good Year To Forget, oath it has been. Lucky for most of us though, we haven’t had to deal with the tragedy of losing a parent, ending a 20-year relationship, catching the filthy Rona, or worst of all having to move back into your parents place due to a loss of livelihood. What a complete and utter clusterfuck, but it hasn’t stopped Lagwagon front man Joey Cape from writing, recording, and releasing his very own solo album. Continue reading JOEY CAPE: A Good Year ...

Words by Jimmy Glinster Here we go with another two-piece instrumental album. This time, a self-titled debut by a couple of dudes called The Blue Prison. I could probably go the same way I went with the last two-piece instrumental and just give you a track listing below with the description of “two dudes playing some fully sick riffs” for every track, but I digress, and I’m going to attempt to sit through 10 tracks and 38 minutes of “two dudes playing some fully sick riffs”.
